DESCRIPTION - With the growing reputation of this, Swinburne's one completed novel, a fresh and intriguing facet of his genius has come to light. Centering upon a great English family, its members bound together both by ties of blood and by near - incestuous attraction, Love's Cross - Currents offers the reader access to a world explored by no other Victorian writer: the closed inner circle of the British aristocracy, a hermetic society with its own inbred code of manners and morals, its own peculiar emotional climate. In the unfolding of this intricate tale of passion and calculation, the reader encounters a brilliant series of character portraits, and a superb depiction of shifting human relationships. Termed by Edmund Wilson as 'unique in English Victorian fiction,' and praised by Marya Zaturenska for 'its true sophistication, its crisp, cool style,' this long - neglected masterpiece bears the stamp of one of the most remarkable writers of his time. inventory #29281 Store Stamp & Written Store Name in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers.
